PHP and Symfony tutorials written by the experts

Hi, I'm Ryan!
And I am pumped that you're here! In case we're not
already friends, I'm a developer with 10+
years under my belt (phew!). I keep pretty busy as the lead for the
Symfony Documentation,
a speaker at *countless* conferences across almost ten countries
and a core Symfony team
member.
I've also trained teams
at fast-growing startups, universities and some of the largest
companies in the world. Oh, and back in the day, I even
co-published a book!

Basically, I love to teach - and I've mastered a recipe for tech
learning that works and isn't the same boring formula of
long, dull videos! That's
why I created SymfonyCasts (originally named KnpUniversity): watch videos to learn
from a pro and then code online with challenges
to master concepts. It's like an in-person training wherever and whenever
you need it.

Testimonials

“Fantastic. A well thought-out screencast. A decent level of detail, without been overwhelming.”--Chris Simpson

“Thanks for this great screencast! A very good refresh of all the basics spiced with the revealment of some Symfony2 'secrets'. Can't wait to watch the sequels with more advanced topics!”--Phillip Rieber

“Excellent tutorials!! They're helping me A LOT with Symfony for my own project (a courier delivery tracking app). I've been using PHP for years (mostly backend programming) but haven't ever had the time to really dig into Symfony. Your tutorials (and Symfony of course) are going to let me kick this project out in record time.”--Glyn Rolmanis
